 AB    Three AIDS patients are reported, 2 European and 1 African. All 3
       developed Histoplasma capsulatum infection while living in Africa. Two
       developed a pulmonary infiltrate, and 2 had skin lesions. One patient
       was successfully treated with itraconazole, 400 mg daily; in a second
       patient, itraconazole was partially successful; the third patient was
       lost to follow-up before adequate treatment could be started.
       Histoplasma infection is probably an often undiagnosed complication in
       African AIDS patients.
